l.a. wildfire response. the announcement comes as republicans in the state assembly called on governor newsom to hold a special session focused solely on california's deadly wildfires. lawmakers had already postponed the start of a special session aimed at preparing for legal battles against the incoming trump administration because of those fires. the republican said the state must do more to protect communities and shore up the insurance system. >> not having a solvent and sustainable insurance industry hurts all californians for the rebuild of our future. without insurance, there's no mortgage loan. without a mortgage loan, there's no place to call home. for the majority of californians. >> we will have more coverage of the l.a. wildfires coming up, including some personal stories of those impacted by the fires and the latest on east bay firefighters who are on those front lines tonight. a four year old girl is in the hospital tonight, badly hurt after she was caught in the crossfire of a chaotic shootout

l.a. wildfires, california is bracing for another hit to its already complicated insurance crisis. something seven on your side has been investigating. it stems from the state's fair plan that provides basic fire insurance for high risk properties when other companies will not. the fair plan caps insurance payments for natural disasters at $3 million for residential property holders. that price tag is important given there are now at least 33 bay area cities where the average home value exceeds $2 million. that's according to zillow. >> with the cap being at $3 million, you're talking about a high percentage of homes not being able to get coverage up to a certain amount. that's going to drastically change how the market is going to be moving forward. >> and he predicts if the california fair plan doesn't raise the $3 million cap, the housing market is going to slow down and buyers are likely to encounter even higher prices and interest rates. >> well, a much needed win for los angeles tonight on the football field against the minnesota vikings. the game was supposed to happen in lo

l.a. wildfires. newsom originally called this session to trump proof california policies. now, newsom is proposing about $2.5 billion in emergency response funding, 1 billion of which would come from the state's emergency reserves account and the rest from the climate measures that voters just passed in november. the federal government would be expected to reimburse some of that cost. that's what we've seen in other disasters. but with trump entering the white house in one week, that aid, as you said, could come with conditions. i mean, he's done it to utah. he's done to michigan native puerto rico. he did it to california back before i was even governor in 2018, until he found out folks in orange county voted for him, and then he decided to give the money. so he's been at this for years and years and years. the housing crisis is already intensifying, with fewer rental properties available. some renters are seeing prices that might qualify as price gouging under california law, which is illegal. the state legislature will pick up that funding discussion this afternoon. acc

it comes after nearly a week of battling the devastating wildfires, including the two most destructive in l.a. county history. the palisades fire is now 14% contained. the eaton fire, 33% contained. at least 24 people have died in the fires. two dozen people are still missing. just under 100,000 people in l.a. county are still under evacuation orders. half of the number last week. the sheriff asked for patience as they search for more victims. >> people are saying i just want to look at my house and see what is left. we know that. but we have people literally looking for the remains of your neighbors.. >> l.a. county da announced criminal charges against 10 people. nine for looting and one for arson not related to the major fires, dozens of people arrested for crimes linked to the fire. one addressed dressed as a firefighter. >>> homeowners claim video of the early moments of the fire points to electrical equipment. though, an official cause has not been determined. >>> so, while the palisades and eaton fires did not grow much overnight firefighters have been busy putting out the hot spots as
